HOW TO MAKE HONEY CANDIED GINGER AND GINGER SYRUP
You can use candied ginger in a wide range of recipes, from desserts to salads. Or, keep it on hand and have a piece or two when your stomach is feeling a bit icky. It really works, at least for me.

Steps:
- Wash your ginger and peel if desired. I personally don't peel it. I just scrub it really well.
- Slice it very thin or chop into small chunks.
- Place in a small saucepan and cover with the honey and water.
- Bring to a simmer and reduce to low heat.
- Cover and let simmer for 30 minutes.
- Remove lid and let summer on low heat for another 30 minutes or until the ginger is tender when you poke it with a fork. The syrup should also be reduced by about half.
- Remove from heat and let cool.
- Pour the mixture through a strainer and let the syrup completely drip off the ginger pieces.
- Once drained completely, spread the ginger pieces out in a single layer on a wire rack or a sheet pan covered with wax paper. The wire rack works best if you have one.
- Let the ginger sit out for at least 12 hours or until it has started to dry. You could also use your dehydrator on low for about 8 hours if you prefer.
- Transfer to an airtight container. I store mine in the fridge and it will keep for quite a long time.
- Enjoy as a healthy little sweet treat, or come up with creative ways to incorporate it into your cooking or baking!

Steps:
- Cut ginger into 2-inch pieces and slice lengthwise into 1/8-inch slices. Score ginger slices by pricking with a fork.
- Toss ginger with sugar in a bowl.
- Combine ginger-sugar mixture and water in a large skillet or wok; bring to a simmer. Reduce heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until sugar melts into a syrup and starts to crystallize, about 1 hour. Continue stirring until syrup is mostly crystallized and ginger comes together in a pile in the center of the skillet and very little syrup drains out; remove from heat.
- Toss ginger slices gently to cool and separate from excess sugar. Spread slices out on a tray to cool and dry.

CANDIED GINGER
Steps:
- Spray a cooling rack with nonstick spray and set it in a half sheet pan lined with parchment.
- Peel the ginger root and slice into 1/8-inch thick slices using a mandoline. Place into a 4-quart saucepan with the water and set over medium-high heat. Cover and cook for 35 minutes or until the ginger is tender.
- Transfer the ginger to a colander to drain, reserving 1/4 cup of the cooking liquid. Weigh the ginger and measure out an equal amount of sugar. Return the ginger and 1/4 cup water to the pan and add the sugar. Set over medium-high heat and bring to a boil, stirring frequently. Reduce the heat to medium and cook, stirring frequently, until the sugar syrup looks dry, has almost evaporated and begins to recrystallize, approximately 20 minutes. Transfer the ginger immediately to the cooling rack and spread to separate the individual pieces. Once completely cool, store in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks. Save the sugar that drops beneath the cooling rack and use to top ginger snaps, sprinkled over ice cream or to sweeten coffee.

- Meanwhile, with a paring knife, slice ginger crosswire very thinly (about 1/8 inch thick). You should have about 1 cup.

Reserve ginger syrup (let cool; refrigerate in an airtight container up to 1 month).
